But it cut out before the fur trapper gets it...... sigh.

But on another note— if you haven’t read Zappa’s autobiography, GO READ IT NOW!!! One of the best reads ever— and funny as hell... I remember having to wipe tears from eyes from laughing so hard on just about every page.......

Whereupon I proceeded to take that mittenful of the deadly yellow snow crystals and rub it all into his beady little eyes with a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area.

I’ve been sort of composing a “things to Amazon” list in my head for a few weeks. I should probably add that.

Another person saying read it now. And looking back to the time it was written-some of the things he discussed were quite prophetic. “Why have all the expense of plastic + processing + shipping etc. of music. Why can’t we just all do it digitally?” (Paraphrasing-been a while since I read it.)

One of my favorites is his story about the behind-the-scenes politics of the parental warning stickers being placed on records.... and when he went to testify to Congress about it.... But yeah, Zappa saw digital music via downloading long ago! Such a badass.

Yeah Rover, go read the book!
